I've had 3 sets of the AT's and never had a problem in the wet. Have you had issues with them? Yep! I can control my right foot on wet roads so its not such a big deal, but braking in the wet (anything more than the weight of my big toe) will lock up and its like ice skates....can even feel understeer when turning slowly. I drive extremely cautiously when its wet.  The worst is in stop start traffic.....sometimes you have to brake suddenly when someone cuts in....and i have almost zero confidence in them  I was a passenger in a pajero that went through an intersection! 
The BFG A/T's had just over 50% tread left, theyre dangerous in the wet.

Everyone told me thay were to soft & wear out quickly, but a sierra doesn't weigh much, thay lasted well..

Not many people would pay for them on a suzuki 
I see alot of people bag the new kevlar mtr, but none wouldve tried them.
I asked a guy up at the local shopping centre car park what he thought of them and he said he'd done 25,000 km on them and they were faultless.
Road manners were great and quieter than the original mtr's, excellent in the mud as he had just used them at the border track for the 3rd time.
